Hendrix

Real Name:
James Marshall Hendrix
Profile:
Seattle, 27 november 1942 – Londen, 18 september 1970

A self-taught guitarist Jimi Hendrix began his musical career backing such R&B greats as Ike and Tina Turner, Sam Cooke, Wilson Pickett and B.B. King. Brought to London from New York by former Animal Chas Chandler, he quickly established himself as the brightest new star on the burgeoning progressive rock scene of the early '60s. Along with bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell he formed The Jimi Hendrix Experience and, after a landmark appearance at the Monterey Pop festival, released his debut album. Are You Experienced?, in September of 1967.
The album, and its successors-Axis: Bold As Love and the towering Electric Ladyland (both 1968) earned Hendrix international acclaim as the premier rock & roll innovator of his generation. A greatest hits collection, Smash Hits (1969), and an in-concert memento of his historic Monterey appearance, Otis Redding / Jimi Hendrix Experience at Monterey (1970), followed before his untimely death in September of 1970.
A posthumous studio album, The Cry Of Love, was released in January of 1971, followed by the double album soundtrack to the documentary film Jimi Hendrix in June of 1973.

Review by djcarnage Jan 02, 2005 (edited 9 days ago)
Jimi Hendrix was married to his guitar. When he was born in the slums of Seattle (USA) a guitar symbolized humane warmth, and he loved it all the 27 years of his life. He caressed and kissed it, but he also hated it, smacked it and smashed it against the wall, only to warm his blues out of his string body. He once said; "Whenever I die, I want people to play my music, want them to do whatever they like!".Jimi Hendrix died, his guitar became a widow, a lonesome lover who has no time for mourning because it has to fulfil Jimi's will. And really, guitars all over the world produce Jimi's sound captivating and carrying away audiences of fans by the same unlimited magic music.
